1 Dollar - Charles III Chinese New Year

Tuvalu has no indigenous tradition connected to the Lunar New Year, but the island nation's coin program has operated largely as a revenue-generating exercise since the 1970s, with commemorative issues licensed through the Perth Mint targeting collector markets in Australia and Southeast Asia. This piece is part of that commercial pipeline — KM#4833 is one of dozens of themed dollars issued under Tuvaluan authority annually, the sovereignty functioning as little more than an issuing address.
